griffithsolarfarm.com.au project page describes the site and its grid connection as an existing operating solar farm; Power Technology 2024 says the project is currently active.

Region NSW1

Coordinates -34.26600, 146.03000 (AI)

Griffith Solar Farm project site says the plant is approximately 7 km south-east of Griffith, NSW; NSW SSD-6604 planning documents place the site in that area.

Methodology & assumptions

Dispatch & availability — AEMO Next Day Dispatch UNIT_SOLUTION (5‑minute intervals). Intervention intervals excluded.
Regional price — dispatch_price RRP matched by settlement time and NEM region (from generator registry).
Energy revenue (× MLF) — cleared MW × (5/60 h) × RRP × MLF.
FCAS revenue & volume — cleared FCAS MW from DISPATCHLOAD (raise/lower 6s, 60s, 5min, reg) × (5/60 h) × regional FCAS price × MLF. Volume is total FCAS enablement MWh across services.
Curtailment — estimated economic curtailment when availability exceeds dispatch target: max(0, availability − cleared) × (5/60) MWh.
Not settlement — estimates only. AEMO settlement applies DLF, rebids, constraints, and other factors not modelled here.

Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

Capex total (greenfield)	$75.28M Shown in table $75.28M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $54.50M (2016 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived ARENA news release states the Griffith Solar Farm project cost was $54.6 million.

Capex refurbishment	—
Capex / MW derived	$2,768,527 Shown in table $2.77M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $2.00M (2016 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Calculated from reported total project cost divided by registered DUID capacity supplied by user. Reference Griffith Solar Farm secures $5 million ARENA funding (medium confidence) Source recorded 08 Jun 2026
Fixed OPEX (annual)	—
Fixed OPEX / MW-yr default	$20,000 Shown in table $20.0k (2026 real AUD) How this was derived AEMO/Aurecon source confirms a solar PV fixed O&M benchmark exists, but the exact extract was not sufficiently accessible here to verify a numeric site-specific value. Reference 2024 Energy Technology Cost and Technical Parameter Review Report - Solar (low confidence) Source recorded 08 Jun 2026
Variable OPEX / MWh	$0.35 Shown in table $0.35 (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $0.25 (2016 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Used the user-provided fallback because no verified plant-specific variable O&M was found.

Notes
Plant-specific greenfield capital cost was reported by ARENA as $54.6 million for Neoen Australia’s Griffith Solar Farm (25 MW AC / 30 MW project class). This does not exactly match the registered DUID capacity of 27.19 MW, so capex_per_mw is calculated on the site-reported project size/cost basis, not AEMO benchmark data. Construction began in January 2017 and operations commenced on 16 April 2018. Solar PV asset life assumed from operator guidance of 25–30 years; midpoint used.
